Dude, the subject of the thread is "Quote of the day". Are you adopting
Peter Breuer's "the subject is not part of the message" opinion?

Okay, I was not entirely clear-headed when I sent the message, nor when
I sent a reply to the first plonker this morning. Let's try again.

I was quoting someone else (who may or may not have been joking
themselves) with the intent of pointing out "y'know, we might all
want to reconsider whether apparent-Windows-trollers are actually
using this strategy because they're too lazy to RTFM".

Clear now?

Oh well, if a few people plonk me (and fail to undo it), then it's
not the end of the world for me - they are far from the entire
readership; and it's not the end of the world for them - I am far
from a guru (more like a newbie helper / AC-troll debunker).
